I'm asking too late, since I've already bought one on fleabay, but 79 bucks seemed much better than unorthodox's 190.

I wouldn't skimp when it comes to something as vital as your crank pulley.

Unorthodox are the way to go... I've seen many dynos that prove how superior they are. They don't underdrive much at all but are extremely lighter.

Top Fuel makes some nice tuning products. I have no experience with the pulleys though.

No balancer....none of the light crank pulleys have them.
I figure it's just an UO clone....the japanese tuners are pretty good at duplicating simple things like that. Same materials and design it seems.

Yep.

I don't know if they have a harmonic balancer or not... but my friend has had it for over 2 years and not a single problem with his highly modified (B17A) civic hatch.

If you're referring to the top fuel that specializes in turbo kit, then yeah, they are very good

Archangel,
What do you think about your clone pulley? Any problems with it?

There was an even cheaper crank pulley sold by 'Cosmo Racing'...it was 66 bucks.
